I think this peer pressure concept would work well in most sororities in which they have "standards" boards or something similar. It would have to be a combination of things - sisters being on the lookout for others who are on the verge of drinking too much and cutting her off or removing her from the situation, or if it happens when no one else is around, calling the member up before the standards board and reprimanding her for her behavior. (See the "drinking in letters" thread for the attitudes on this - it doesn't matter if you're wearing your letters or not, on many campuses you'll be identified as the sloppy drunk XYZ.) The member would be aware before she goes out drinking that she is at risk of a reprimand if she drinks too much - and if the behavior continues, getting kicked out of her org. This helps punish the individual for her behavior rather than the organization, and helps protect the organization. It would also apply regardless of whether the member is of legal drinking age or not. Not sure how it would work in fraternities, though ...
